vTo all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM I. QUEN- TELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of NewYork, have invented. new and useful- Improvements in Printing- Pres'ses, of which the following is a speciv cation. I

This invention relates to' a printingpress adapted for printing through a ribbon and the invention consist-s in the novel `features of: construction set forth in the following y 4s ecification and claims and illustrated in t e .annexed drawing in which -Figure lis a plan view of a printing press embodying this invention.

ig. 5 is adetail perspective-view of a paper sto v this drawing is showna type holder com osed of a frame or disks I.awhich are v fix or stationary onastationary shaftb and 'are adapted lto receive type or type bars c. A ribbon or 4inktape d lies over the type and. whenthe platene preles asheet f to the ribbonon the'type an impressionappears 'on .the sheet. ,fl The platen e is carried by-frame g lrotating on a stationary shaft b. This platen 'frame is provided with. a gear@J engaged by gearv z.-I mounted on an arm or frame Ic and actuated bysuitable means such `as a crank .i the type holder'afrom side to-side butmig t A' frames. These .protruding ml- The rotation of the gearsY will cause the laten to moveabout the type. v

- 'e shaft b need not pass entirely ,throu h be made integral vwith or secured to each disk and rotrude from the outside of jeaeh diskandu orm'the means by which thedisk is mounted 4and lfastened to `the -supportin serve as the-axisof the platenV rame g,

The paper is fed sheet by lguide n pivoted at o and having its free end ld toward the type holderby a s ring p4 'which can haveits tension regulate as 1n# dicatedfby screw g. The leading edge of thepaper sheet as it is slipped onto the *giiide n is varrested by coming against 4a stop f rpivoted at s.

Fig.- 2 is a sec-- tion along line :r Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows a arts -woul sheet onto a 4 The free or adjacent end 'portions of guide n and. stop r are comb shapedor' serrated' and arranged so that these serrations 'or'- 55 teeth can pass between one' a'notlier.

When a .sheet has been placed on guide 'n against stop i Vsuch stopis-swun'g soas toI press or clamp an edge-of the 'sheet against` the type holder. This movementofthe stop is given by a pressing member or actuator 2 secured to the outside of the platen frame' which as the frame moves-about 'the shaft' b will engagea friction roller f3 onl 'thestop and swing :the latter'to the ty holder; Vv65 A depressing member 1 carried about with the platen engages a friction 'roller' 5 in 'the .I sheet guide tomovetlie-latter away freni" the type. The sto thus clampingone edge' e -of the sheet tote vtype holder vand thef'70 sheet guide beinf eld or swung awaylfroin the type holder i., laten e can 4pass along., '1 between 'the stop an guidel to'and over the tvpe and press the sheet thereto.

platen being' lighter is not-.so ponderous.:

The moving-0f heavy vparte is thus not onlyavoided but the movmg .of ent-ire groupe; of parts which have-to perform movements of their own such as the, ribbon spool mech7 anismand the paperv gripping.meelianismr-r is avoided. I.' In a slotted' arm o r extension 8- of ythe@ platen 'carrier g is a` bar 9` havin -ngere10 .90 The bar can be ad'usted in the s o t 'tosetthe`-` lingers as require These fingers afterthe platen has..4 started printing and-after.. the

stop 1' has' freed orunelam'. d' the paper come Vbetween the' latterand tlitype carrier-..95 'and strip or move 4the paper-from the'type.-

The stop 'r has cuts or'passa s for the stripperiingers to4 travel throng .I The stop 'r can be 'allowed todi-op .clear by its o wn wei ht to free 'the sheet vor a 4'10o jareniounted on arms' one of the bobblnsfor if desired both'can be releasably held 1nplace-.by av catch o'rfhoo'kl which being released will allow the spool and ribbon to .5 belifted' out of ace.vA These spools can be suitabl' actuated1 to wind-and unwind the ribbon. nto suitable ratchets on .the spools ,engage .the'pawls 15 either one vof which be heldiout of 'action by pin 16 placed into one'or anotlier of the holes 17. The Aa1 1'n" 18 is fulorumed at 19 and on this arm the'p'awls are ivoted. VA sprin or springs -20 tends to hol) ofjacti'on fin engagement. vAs the platen the-,'vsameand; as the' platen or a trip 23 thereon passesoii beyond the lever arm 18 the returning spring 21 moves the lever back again These steps 'pellin action to rota Ba bearings can be applied lto make various'partsbf ,the 'machinerun smoothly but'no.1nvent ion is; involved in 'such-'feature.

Thep'ressure -of the platen against the type can be regulated by a screw- 22. The arms 7 forming'a bearing for the vribbon spools can be` supported'or mounted on the -hubsfor shaftb.
